what i would say is this, there is an incentive on the taliban to join a political process because taliban mid level and high level leaders are being killed in ever larger numbers. and actually what you see now is in some sense lowering morale of the taliban within afghanistan because the brave mid level and high level leaders are carrying over the border into pakistan. that is what is happening. we need to keep up that pressure. now, of course, we need to work with the afghans so there is a long-term capability so that the afghans can deal with the snurmingsy if that insurgency is still -- insurgency if that insurgency is still continuing in the future along the lines you suggest. but no one should think that the taliban is not under pressure. they are under huge pressure because of the operations in which we are all so engaged. >> mr. roy. >> mr. prime minister, ws' drawdown ropes in afghanistan, we will not drawdown on those numbers on people who [inaudible] . >> it's hugely important that we secure those who work in our embassy. i have the great fortunate things on meeting those people
